If following President Obama on Twitter, Facebook and whatever else wasn't enough for you, the White House has published an iPhone app.

Available on Apple's iTunes store now (for free), the White House app streams up-to-date content from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue directly to your iPhone or iPod Touch. Some of that content includes news, briefs, events, and live-streaming coverage of the President and other White House officials.
